It is time for you to switch your offers to Azoogleads my friends. Why? Well because Azoogleads just recently launched their "C U At The Mansion" Contest. The Mansion... Playboy Mansion.
What they are going to do is fly the top 25 "most improved" affiliates out to LA with two free nights accommodation and have a giant party at the playboy mansion from 9 PM to 1 AM.
Before I get into the details about this, I want to mention that I have always Strongly recommended spending some actual face time with the people you work with (Your affiliate managers for example).
What a privilege (and help) it would be to your affiliate business to not only meet your manager and spend time with people from AzoogleAds but also meet 24 other huge publishers. This is not an Affiliate Summit where 60% of the people are trying to figure out how to affiliate market... This is a party full of successful affiliates with booze! Let the secrets fly out!!! Hahaha.
The way they are going to judge this is by looking at your revenue from the previous three months (Nov 1, '08 through Jan 31, '09) and compare it with your three months revenue (Feb 1, '09 - April 30th '09).
So let's say you've driven maybe $5000 to azoogleads in the last three months. If you have other offers you're running at other networks, you can simply switch them over and let's say you hit $25,000 for the three months you're advertising through Azoogleads. You will have $20,000 of incremental income as your entry into the contest.
If you're not an Azoogleads publisher, sign up now.
If you already are, then you have no worries... all the revenue is automatically calculated for you. You simply get that traffic pumping.
Amazingly, if you are over 21, this contest is open to you... Worldwide!
What's even cooler, is that because Azoogleads knows there are a large group of young budding affiliates who are under the age of 21 (heck I know a 19 year old worth almost $5 million from affiliate marketing)... you can still participate in the contest! You won't be able to go to the mansion party, but you will still get something equally awesome as according to their website.
That being said, check out their website for official rules and contest information.
P.S> While I probably wouldn't be at the party, I still am thinking about flying out to LA to hang with all of the AzoogleAds people and some of the other Top Azoogle Pubs for the couple days.

All these never ending contests from affiliate networks are a joke lately. They are flawed in concept for both the affiliate and affiliate network and no affiliate I know who does any real volume would even play into all this nonsense. If it costs even a slightly less epc to run with one network over another over a 3 month period then the affiliate (if he is doing any volume at all) would have just paid for his own trip and also lost revenue and profit on top of it. All affiliates should forget the big screen TVs, flight to never never land or whatever other carrot they dangle in front of our eyes and look at only their bottom line when deciding where to run their offers.
Wayne obviously has never heard of building relationships in business.
Wayne has quite a few years on you in the business world buddy and has definitely heard of “building relationships”. You don’t build fundamentaly sound relationships by throwing kiddie contests, you do it by providing long lasting value to your business partners. My point remains.
I think it’s great….and as I’m very new to the Network I look forward to more of these cool incentives. I live in London but travel to New York often…and hope to call into the office one visit soon to meet everyone
Great blog J. Simon
I’m not sure why Wayne has such hostility and defensiveness. Seems like a cool, fun, unique contest, not something that’s “kiddie”. Plus I’m sure a company like Azoogle has been building relationships (and providing long lasting value) already for 5 or 6 years or however long they’ve been doing business so why not do something like this to reward their top performers. Your years of business experience must have made you a dinosaur compared to the author of this blog.
Hi Jonathan,
I don’t mind being your ambassador at party and happy to go in your place if you are under 21.
At least I can do

I suppose that there is a middle path between what Jonathan says and what Wayne observes. It is possible to strike a balance between building relationships and avoiding hype, which eventually costs the affiliate money.
must know what the 19 year old with 5 million dollars has done what is his niche
@Nicole: Very good level headed post. While you’re right that affiliate companies take a cut… ALL affiliate companies take a cut regardless of contest or not and the only way to not do that is to go direct which presents more risks and is not all just benefits.
@Wayne: dude, wtf are you talking about man? This isn’t some run-of-the-mill iPod nano/5000 entrecards contest….this contest is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to party it up at the PLAYBOY MANSION. There’s going to be 3-4 playmates for EACH male marketer. Even if you’re not into all that, it’s still a weekend long deal in and the winners stay at a luxury hotel in L.A. You get to network and build a stronger relationship with the AzoogleAds team, not to mention the other 24 marketers who are seasoned vets. They’re even taking suggestions as to what playmates will be there. And if you decide not to go, they are offering an equal prize. Get off your high horse, seriously.
FTW.
I’ve been running Azoogle Ads for a few years now… this might be enough incentive to push harder with them. Although I’m not sure how the wife would feel about me attending a party at the Playboy Mansion.
@David: Yea… But hey, there are plenty of awesomely fun things to do in LA.
I read about a party at the Playboy Mansion in other blogs. Was it really so hilarious and great? And may be the right chance to get new partners for bisiness and to have a good time.
